Logout problems?

It stopped after a while though, right?
The next version of NodeBB puts in some changes that might fix the issue. When happens is that your session goes missing. Why? It turns out every individual visit from a bot creates a new session. We get about 4k-12k bot visits (99% are Google) per hour. That’s a lot of sessions. We limit memory for the sessions store so the session DB eliminates records. The “fix” is to not create sessions for bots and guests.
I think this will fix the issue in the sense that it will make the underlying issue happen much, much less often. But I posit there is a race condition somewhere.
Regardless, after the next version, I’m going to eliminate all sessions, which I’m sorry to say, means everybody will be logged out. The next NodeBB will prepare be ready early January. The team is great at pushing out frequent releases.

This happens to me when I post on the WW2 history page. After I make a post I get logged out…
-
haven’t said anything since others have been but it’s happening multiple times a day instead of once or twice a week now for me
-
well it’s slowed down but just happened again. While slightly annoying, it’s not a huge deal.
Just a fyi, I’ve never had this happen at the triplea site.Obviously there are differences between the sites, but they both use nodebb or w/e it’s correct name is : )
-
It happened right as I was clicking the link for this post, ironically.

there is a punchline here that I am totally missing, I just know it.
Logout issues returning for me, also search works only intermittently (sometimes nothing happens when I click the button).

@vodot There’s an open bug for the search issues. The next release of NodeBB should address the logout issue in most cases.
The logout issue boils down to the fact that anonymous visitors, including Google crawlers, get a session, which is stored in the database. To conserve memory we limit the number of sessions. Sometimes, randomly, a regular user’s session is deleted from the database, thus the logout. In the next version of NodeBB, anonymous visitors will not get a session. The number of sessions in the db will go from hundreds of thousands to thousands.
